  Product Description
The Travellife Expanding 3 Tier Airer gives you between 4 and 7.5 metres of drying space in a frame that folds down to just 42.5cm wide. The expandable design means you can adjust it to match your load size, from a few tea towels up to a full wash including towels and bedding. When opened to its full 75cm width, the three tiers provide enough hanging space for most family laundry needs without clothes overlapping or taking forever to dry. The powder-coated steel construction handles outdoor conditions better than basic chrome or aluminium frames, which tend to show rust spots after a season or two of camping use.

Setting this airer up takes seconds because there are no complicated locks or mechanisms to fiddle with. The ground pegs slot through the base to anchor it when you're drying washing outside on breezy days, though you'll still want to bring it in if proper wind picks up. At 104.5cm tall when erected, it sits at a comfortable height for loading and unloading without bending down too far. The frame weighs enough to feel stable but not so much that moving it between your pitch and caravan becomes awkward.

Storage space matters when you're packing a motorhome or caravan, and this airer addresses that by collapsing to 9cm thick. That slim profile means it slides behind seats, under beds, or in most external lockers without taking up valuable room you need for other kit. The steel construction should outlast plastic alternatives that crack at the joints after repeated folding. One consideration is that like any outdoor airer, the rails will eventually mark light-coloured fabrics if you don't wipe them down after they've been sitting in damp conditions for extended periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much washing can the Travellife 3 Tier Airer hold?
The airer provides between 4 and 7.5 metres of drying space depending on how far you extend it. At full extension, this typically accommodates one standard washing machine load including towels, or a mix of clothing items across the three tiers without overlapping. The powder-coated steel rails can support damp laundry weight, though the manufacturer does not specify an exact weight capacity. For reference, most 3-tier airers of similar construction handle approximately 10-15kg of washing.
Will this airer rust when used outdoors at campsites?
The powder-coated steel construction provides rust resistance for outdoor use, performing better than chrome or basic steel frames. The coating creates a protective barrier against moisture and weather exposure. To maximise longevity, wipe the rails dry before storing and avoid leaving it outside during extended wet periods. Coastal caravanners should note that salt air accelerates corrosion on any metal airer, so bringing it inside the caravan or awning overnight helps prevent premature rust spots that can mark clothing.
How do the ground pegs work and when should I use them?
The included ground pegs slot through designated points in the airer base and push into soft ground to anchor it during outdoor use. Use them whenever drying washing outside on grass pitches, particularly in breezy conditions where a loaded airer can topple. The pegs provide stability for moderate wind but are not designed for strong gusts. They work best in soil or grass rather than hardstanding pitches. On hard surfaces indoors or on caravan awning groundsheets, the airer stands stable without pegs due to its wide base footprint.
What are the exact dimensions when folded for caravan storage?
When collapsed, the Travellife airer measures 42.5cm wide by 51cm deep by 9cm thick. This slim 9cm profile allows it to fit in most caravan exterior lockers, slide under fixed beds, or store vertically behind seating. The folded dimensions make it more compact than rotary airers or larger tower designs. At approximately 3-4kg, the weight remains manageable for lifting in and out of storage without strain. The folding mechanism requires no tools and the airer stays secured in its collapsed state during transit.
Can I use this airer inside my caravan awning without causing condensation problems?
You can use the airer in caravan awnings, but drying washing indoors does release moisture into the air which contributes to condensation on awning fabric and windows. To minimise this, ensure adequate ventilation by opening awning vents and doors to create airflow. Position the airer away from awning walls where moisture can accumulate. Drying smaller loads or partially dried items reduces moisture release. On cold nights when condensation risk is highest, consider whether items are dry enough to bring inside or if they need additional outdoor drying time. A breathable awning fabric helps moisture escape better than fully waterproof materials.
Is the Travellife airer better than a rotary washing line for motorhome use?
The choice depends on your touring style and storage capacity. The Travellife airer folds to 9cm thick and sets up instantly without ground installation, making it ideal for short stays, hard standing pitches, or frequent moves between sites. Rotary lines offer more drying space (typically 15-30m versus 7.5m) but require deeper storage (usually 70-85cm long), take longer to assemble, and need soft ground for the spike. For motorhomers who rarely stay more than two nights or prefer aires to campsites, the compact airer provides more practical versatility. Seasonal tourers on grass pitches with larger laundry needs benefit from rotary line capacity.
Does the expanding mechanism stay secure when loaded with wet washing?
The expanding rails lock into position once extended to your chosen width, maintaining stability under typical laundry weight. The mechanism uses a friction or locking system that holds the rails firm rather than relying on manual tension. When properly extended and placed on level ground, the frame resists collapsing even with damp towels or jeans. Avoid overloading one tier significantly more than others as this creates imbalance. If the airer feels unstable, check that all three tiers are extended evenly and the base sits flat. The steel construction provides more rigidity than aluminium alternatives that can flex under weight.
